Air cushions and pallets powered by shop air   -  lifting equipment for moving heavy loads

Air cushions - also referred to as pallets - are simple air powered devices that inflate, apply downward pressure, and cause a load to lift away from the floor and move laterally on a thin film of air - much like the way a hovercraft does.

A standard system can very easily move up to 120 tons with very little operator effort. Our heavy duty cushions are capable of moving heavy loads of infinite weight.

In addition to load modules, air cushions are incorporated directly into our other products such as fabricated steel transporters, steel platform transporters (air pallets) air beams and lifting jacks. Our main Hovair Systems air bearings web site has full details on all types of products powered by cushions and pallets.

Pictured right, is a typical square aluminum load module into which air cushions are placed before becoming operational. These load modules add strength to the systems and allow the application to become more flexible in the way it is used.

These great components offer the cleanest, quietest and most cost-effective method of moving heavy loads and equipment safely and surely. We have a variety of air driven load modules that will suit your needs, including square aluminum, round steel, air transporters, aluminum air beams and air jacks. Be sure to visit our main air bearings web site for more information.
